"Prostitutes challenge Canada laws"

[demoleft]

A court in the Canadian province of Ontario is due to consider a challenge to the country's prostitution laws.

The case is brought by three female sex workers, who argue that current curbs "violate their constitutional rights and threatens their physical safety".

They want laws against brothels, sex advertising and prostitutes living off their earnings to be struck down.

Critics also say provisions preventing prostitutes from "running or occupying a bawdy house (brothel)" force them to tout for clients away from a safe location.

this is an old issue. and a complicated one. i feel that the law must have to do with what it is, not what it would like it to be.
girls (and guys as to that) are out there in the street. risky life, for safety, health and sanitary issues.
money circulates there, calling it "work" or not is a nominal matter that does not change much the thing.

their constitutional rights are another issue itself. i do not know canadian constitution.
complicated.
